Muhammad Shabbbir Awan: Reflections on the WTDC17
It’s been 5 months since WTDC17 concluded and I had time to reflect on the outcomes of the conference and the experience itself. WTDC sets the ITU’s development agenda and in Argentina last October over 1000 government delegates from close to 135 countries gathered during the two-week period. They were there to discuss a range of issues and shape the development sector’s priorities for the next four years. For me, it was a trip of many firsts: my first experience as an observer participating in a multilateral conference; my first trip to South America; and, as a visually impaired person, the eighteen hours flight duration was my first such experience.
To recall, I was a member of the Internet Society delegation as a Fellow. For me, the two motivators to apply for the fellowship opportunity were: first, the theme for WTDC17 (“ICTs for Sustainable Development Goals”) and possibility to make a difference. Second, my quest to learn even more about Internet Governance processes and to participate in the discussions.
WTDC17 had a packed agenda that included ceremonial events marking the 25th Anniversary of the Development Sector and side events on a range of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) topics.

Stuff The Internet Says On Scalability For April 6th, 2018
Hey, it's HighScalability time:
Programmable biology - engineered cells execute programmable multicellular full-adder logics. (Programmable full-adder computations)
If you like this sort of Stuff then please support me on Patreon. And I'd appreciate if you would recommend my new book—Explain the Cloud Like I'm 10—to anyone who needs to understand the cloud (who doesn't?). I think they'll learn a lot, even if they're already familiar with the basics.

sFlow available on Juniper MX series routers
Understanding How to Use sFlow Technology for Network Monitoring on a MX Series Router lists the following benefits of sFlow Technology on a MX Series Router:
- sFlow can be used by software tools like a network analyzer to continuously monitor tens of thousands of switch or router ports simultaneously.
- Since sFlow uses network sampling (forwarding one packet from ‘n’ number of total packets) for analysis, it is not resource intensive (for example processing, memory and more). The sampling is done at the hardware application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and hence it is simple and more accurate.
- ACX5000 Universal Access Router
- EX Series Ethernet Switches
- MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers
- NFX Series Network Services Platform
- OCX1100 Open networking, cloud-optimized switch
- QFX Series High-performance, high-density data center switches

Introducing “Cooking with Cumulus” – Episode one
Alright, we know you’re hungry for more Cumulus goodness, so we’ve cooked up something new that we think will satiate your appetite for awesome technical content. It’s the perfect mix of one part technical deep-dive, one part fun and just a pinch of silliness. The wait is over — our latest project is hot, fresh and ready to serve!
Okay, enough teasing. Today we’re introducing the new Cumulus Networks video series “Cooking with Cumulus!”
“Wait, what does cooking have to do with networking??” you may think to yourself. Glad you asked. You may already know JR Rivers as the CTO and co-founder of Cumulus Networks, but did you know he’s also a master of the culinary arts? Here at the Mountain View office, we know it’s the start of a good day when JR brings in his homemade food to share. From chocolate chip cookies to paella, we’ve approved (and enjoyed) his many recipes. So, we decided that we wanted to share that gift with the rest of the Cumulus community by combining two of JR’s greatest passions — networking and cooking. The resulting brain child was a video series where we put two networking nerds in a Continue reading
New RFC 8360 – RPKI Validation Reconsidered – Offers Alternative Validation Procedures to Improve Routing Security
RFC 8360, Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) Validation Reconsidered, is now published in the RFC libraries.
What is RPKI?
Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) aims to improve the security of the Internet routing system, specifically the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), by establishing a hierarchy of trust for BGP routes. Today, most organizations simply trust that routing updates they get are sent by authorized senders. This is how bad actors and misconfigurations can cause massive routing issues. With RPKI, the receiving organization can verify that the sending organization is authorized to send the routing update.
RPKI works by issuing X.509-based resource certificates to holders of IP addresses and AS numbers to prove assignment of these resources. These certificates are issued to Local Internet Registries (LIRs) by one of the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) who allocate and assign these resources in their service regions.
What Does This RFC Do?
In the IETF, participants have been discussing issues that may arise when resources move across registries. The problem happens when a subordinate certificate “over-claims” resources compared to its parent. According to the standard validation procedure specified in RFC 6487, the whole branch beneath would be invalidated. The closer to Continue reading

Cloudflare Argo Tunnel with Rust+Raspberry Pi
Yesterday Cloudflare launched Argo Tunnel. In the words of the product team:
Argo Tunnel exposes applications running on your local web server, on any network with an Internet connection, without adding DNS records or configuring a firewall or router. It just works.
Once I grokked this, the first thing that came to mind was that I could actually use one of my Raspberry Pi's sitting around to serve a website, without:
- A flaky DDNS running on my router
- Exposing my home network to the world
- A cloud VM
Ooooh... so exciting.
The Rig
I'll assume you already have a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian on it.
Plug the Pi into your router. It should now have an IP address. Look that up in your router’s admin UI:
OK, that's promising. Let's connect to that IP using the default pi/raspberry credentials:
$ ssh 192.168.8.26 -l pi

Video: Tools and Knobs to Use when Tweaking TCP Performance
In the second half of his Networks, Buffers and Drops webinar JR Rivers focused on end systems: what tools could you use to measure end-to-end TCP throughput, or monitor performance of an individual socket or the whole TCP stack?
You’ll need at least free ipSpace.net subscription to watch the video.
Stuffing the Camel into the Bikeshed
I’m sure that there are folk who believe that bodies like the IETF can exercise just the right level of restraint and process management to keep excessive levels of both camelling and bikeshedding out of the IETF and its Working Groups activities. Speaking personally, I just can’t see that happening.Measuring the Root Zone KSK Trust

Moving a monolithic application to a modern cloud architecture can be difficult and often result in a greenfield development effort. However, it is possible to move towards a cloud architecture using Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) with no code changes and gain portability, security and efficiency in the process.
Part 4 takes advantage of the messaging service I added in part 3. In this installment, I’ll add self service analytics powered by the open source Elasticsearch / Kibana stack. The reporting database and analytics UI run in containers and the worker is updated to also store data in Elasticsearch. The Docker platform supports adding new components to a running deployment without shutting down the application containers that are currently running. You’ll learn how Docker lets you add new capabilities to the application with zero downtime in production.
